What the first halo F1 car tells us about 2018

Haas dropped a surprise by revealing the first new car images of 2018 sooner than expected, and in doing so gave us an early look at what we can expect from the halo-generation of Formula 1 machinery

The Haas VF-18 is the first 2018 Formula 1 car to break cover, and confirms that, as expected for the second season of these regulations, it's all about following the design concept you believe in and optimising every component.

For Haas, this is going to be about achieving greater consistency after two erratic seasons in F1 with some great results and some very difficult weekends.
